---

Hi this is my son Cassius Judas

---

You say: Hi, Cassius.
You think: Such a mouthful for a little kid. The 's' endings sound weird together. Can't get past the biblical associations of Judas.

Hi this is my son Ashley Wyatt

---

You say: Aww! Wyatt is adorable with Ashley!

You say: How cute! Vaughn is so adorable!
You think: Vaughn is great, Tobiah is NMS.

---

You say: Very Cute!

---

---

You say: I love her name!
You think: Ditto. It's two of my faves!

Hi this is my son Ashley Wyatt

---

You say: Hello, Ashley!
You think: Thank GOD Ashley is used on a boy. I love the combo, and anyone who thinks Ashley is a girl's name is sadly mistaken.

---

Hi this is my son Vaughn Tobiah

---

You say: I like that!
You think: Tobiah is okay, I prefer Vaughn as a last name.

---

Hi this is my son Cassius Judas

---

You say: Hello, Cassius!
You think: It's not my style, but I see no horrendous flaw.

---

Hi this is my son Raphael Aeson

---

You say: Unique.
You think: True, but unique doesn't mean a good name.

---

Hi this is my daughter Saffron Beatrice

---

You say: Hi!
You think: Bland...

Hi this is my son Ashley Wyatt

---

You say: Hello Ash! Nice to meet you.
You think: I like it. Hooray for Ashley on a boy!

---

Hi this is my son Vaughn Tobiah

---

You say: Hi Vaughn!
You think: And... What country/planet did that name originate in?

---

Hi this is my son Cassius Judas

---

You say: Hello Cassius!
You think: I do really like Cassius, but Judas is not for me.

---

Hi this is my son Raphael Aeson

---

You say: Hello Raphael.
You think: Very foreign sounding... nms.

---

Hi this is my daughter Saffron Beatrice

---

You say: Hi Saffron!
You think: Well, I love Beatrice, but Saffron is one spice that makes me puke. Bad images.

---

Hi this is my daughter Clara Imogen

---

You say: Hi Clara!
You think: Gorgeous name.

---

Hi this is my daughter Bianca Felicity

---

You say: Hi Bianca!
You think: Bianca, Brianna, Ashley, Tiffany... Mean girl names. Felicity is beautiful, though!

---

Hi this is my Daughter Ivy Beatrice

---

You say: Hello Ivy!
You think: Very pretty! The names compliment each other well.

Hi this is my son Ashley Wyatt

---

You say: Hi, Ashley.
You think: Nice name; I love Ashley on a boy. Wyatt sounds a bit like a last name, but it's a good mn.

---

Hi this is my son Vaughn Tobiah

---

You say: Hi, Vaughn
You think: Ugh, I hate the look of that fn; it doesn't sound too bad, though. Tobiah is lovely; too bad it's not the fn!

---

Hi this is my son Cassius Judas

---

You say: Hi, Cass.
You think: Way too many s's. Cassius is nms anyway. And did they have to pair it with Judas? Bad associations there, and they really didn't need another name ending in s.

---

Hi this is my son Raphael Aeson

---

You say: Hi, Raphael.
You think: I like Raphael, but Aeson? Oh well, at least it's only a mn.

---

Hi this is my daughter Saffron Beatrice

---

You say: Hi, Saffron.
You think: I thought saffron was a spice, not a girl. I don't know why, but that name just grates on my nerves. Beatrice is actually pretty, especially as a mn.

---

Hi this is my daughter Clara Imogen

---

You say: Hi, Clara.
You think: Clara is pretty nice (though sort of bland). I don't like Imogen, though.

---

You think: Bianca is pretty. I usually don't like Felicity as a name, but the combination is actually quite nice!

---

---

You say: Hi, Ivy. You've got a lovely name.
You think: Indeed she does! Classic, strong, and feminine!

You think: But why Ashley? Its a girls name!

Hi this is my son Vaughn Tobiah

---

You say: Vaughn is really cool!
You think: But hard to spell and with Tobiah???

---

You say: Wow!

---

Hi this is my Daughter Ivy Beatrice

---

You say: Ivy is great!
You think: but again why Beatrice?

Hi this is my son Ashley Wyatt

You say: Hi Saffron!
You think: Saffron??? eeww. Beatrice is not bad at all.

---

Hi this is my daughter Clara Imogen
